I’d wondered about Rogue and power blockers before, elsewhere. The out of universe answer I got was that there’s too much potential for angst with her being unable to touch people to ruin it with power blocking. But I never liked that, and I’m glad they’ve got around to resolving the problem in the modern era. Thanks, Scott, for asking the question, and thank the pair of you for answering it!
